The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $350,000 Project Grant under the 1890 Institution Capacity Building Grants program (CFDA 10.216) to Alabama A&M University. The 2-year grant, which commenced on April 1, 2024, aims to help prevent land loss, resolve title issues, and promote generational wealth building through sustainable land management in underserved communities across Alabama. Key objectives include: The project will partner with local leaders, legal professionals, families, and collaborators to deliver community education on topics like estate planning, heirs' property, resolving family conflicts, and land use strategies. The provision of customized legal services is an innovative component to help address barriers in resolving heirs' property cases and reduce intergenerational disputes. Programming will primarily focus on Alabama's Black Belt region and counties with higher prevalence of heirs' property, with the university's law school providing pro bono legal assistance.
